New synthetic hosts for sulfate and nucleoside triphosphates: understanding non-covalent interactions

The present work describes new aspects of organic and supramolecular chemistry. The scientific contribution consists of two parts, which focus on the development of receptors for the sulfate anion and quantitative assessment of stacking interactions between an anthracene dye and nucleobases in an aqueous solution.
In Chapter 1, basic concepts concerning supramolecular chemistry and recognition of cations and anions are discussed, as well as modern methods for the determination of binding constants. Particular attention is paid to fluorescence sensing of ions and underlying mechanisms of binding-induced fluorescence responses. Chapter 2 is dedicated to the design and synthesis of new fluorescent sulfate receptors functioning in aqueous solution. After a short review of the most effective sulfate receptors/probes created so far, a new design of PET probes for sulfate sensing is presented. The syntheses and anion binding properties of new compounds are described. The experimental data obtained for the receptors are discussed in detail to reveal the origin of high selectivity towards sulfate. Chapter 3 explores the importance of nucleobase–arene stacking interactions in recognition of nucleotides by synthetic receptors. Various experimental and theoretical approaches are presented to assess dispersion interactions between aromatic rings and nucleobases in the receptor–nucleotide complexes.
